Charming historic former gatehouse situated in an idyllic rural location on the edge of the Hestercombe Gardens Estate but still only 10 minutes from Taunton and set within just under half an acre of gardens with garage, outbuildings and parking. For sale with no onward chain.
The grade 2 listed property, a former gatehouse for the estate, has an abundance of character features and has lovely countryside views from most rooms. Benefitting from oil fired central heating and secondary glazing, the accommodation comprises, on the ground floor - entrance hall, sitting room with open fire, dining room and kitchen. The first floor offers 2 double bedrooms and a large shower room. To the side of the house lies a detached stone outbuilding housing a workshop, WC and utility. There is considerable potential to extend to incorporate this into the accommodation, subject to the relevant planning and consents.
The garden surrounds the house and is laid to lawn with hedge borders and a variety of mature shrubs and trees. A gravel area then leads to the driveway and garage, beyond which a further area of undeveloped garden lies. On the other side of the lane is a further area of garden. In total the plot extends to just under half an acre.
Middle Lodge lies between Kingston St Mary and Cheddon Fitzpaine. Cheddon Fitzpaine has a church and primary school and is surrounded by open farmland criss-crossed by a network of footpaths and bridleways. The village also sits at the foot of the Quantock Hills, which were the first to be designated AONB in the UK. Kingston St Mary has a highly regarded primary school, Church, village inn, village hall, playing field and garage
The property is just 10 minutes from Taunton which provides excellent transport links to Exeter, Bristol and London by both road and rail.
There is an excellent range of schooling available from both the State and independent sectors. This includes several fantastic independent schools including Kings College, Kings College Prep, Taunton school, Queens College and Wellington. There are also a range of very good primary schools nearby and an outstanding 6th form college in Richard Huish.

About this agent
Established in 2013, Red Deer country is an owner run independent firm combining the very best technology and software with traditional values and genuine local knowledge. The internet has revolutionised the way estate agents work and has led to the establishment of many online agents – an undoubted cost saving but often operating from far flung corners of the country they lack any local knowledge or personal touch. Red Deer Country cover the whole of West Somerset but, unlike many traditional agents, we have just one central office meaning we can keep our overheads down and our fees reasonable.
